Ronald's labyrinth-solving solution is very effective.

He was in charge of constantly looking for the way ahead, and Nicole was on the side to make sure that the two were not wrong in the direction, and their progress was carried out in such an orderly cooperation.

And so half an hour passed.

They had completely said goodbye to the location where they had entered the labyrinth, and had completely fallen into the frost labyrinth.

"Ronald, I'm feeling bored!"

Another ten minutes passed.

For this boring way of moving forward, Nicole finally couldn't hold back.

The investigator girl tried to ensure that her position did not deviate in the slightest, and then complained loudly to Ronald on the side:

"How much longer are we going to go like this?"

"When I listened to you tell me before, it didn't seem like this maze should be so boring, right? What about monsters? What about the challenge? What about the talking statues? ”

That kind of thing.

But you can't see it until in Springs.

Hearing Nicole complain like this, Ronald immediately stopped groping his way.

With Nicole's character, it's normal for such problems to occur.

Ronald, who had expected it for a long time, directly came up with a plan prepared in advance at this moment:

"Since you're bored, let's swap jobs."

"From now on, I'm in charge of ensuring the direction, and you're going to find a way forward, okay?"

"That's a great idea!"

Nicole accepted the assignment without hesitation.

When Ronald stood still to ensure their direction, and without Ronald having to speak, the investigator girl began to search and plan a way forward in the maze on her own.

She is very happy with the flexible way of assigning tasks!

……

Although the two exchanged jobs, the actual speed of progress did not change much.

After all, in such a situation of limited ability.

As long as the sense of space is strong enough, then the investigation of the route is quite the same work.

There won't be much difference between people......

Bang!

Suddenly, a violent explosion came from a distance behind the two men.

Ronald and Nicole, who were originally cooperating to move forward, were immediately attracted by the sound.

The two turned their heads to look in the direction they had come.

An orange pillar of fire, tearing through all obstacles from under the cold ice cap continent, and then straight through the heavens and the earth.

It's just that under the interference of the cartoon style, this scene that should have been full of power looks a little ...... at the moment Lovely?

It should have erupted!

In the labyrinth, Ronald took a few seconds to understand the meaning of this image, and then looked at this phenomenon, and the original blank expression on his face immediately became serious:

"Nicole, can you see those things?"

"You mean the white stone next to this pillar of fire......"

Nicole answered Ronald's question almost subconsciously.

But soon, the voices of the two men, who realized the situation, became quieter, and the conversation between them suddenly disappeared.

Around the volcano that erupted beneath the northern great, there were also small white things that followed the impact to the surface.

These things are the predators born by the dust giant beast Shirakawa!

If it weren't for Ronald and Nicole's previous quick action, which had opened up a lot of distance between the two sides, otherwise if it passed all at once, I am afraid that they would be directly caught by these guys who were smashed everywhere!

“……”

"This method seems quite exciting?"

At this moment, Nicole suddenly muttered with some envy.

Ronald glared at the guy fiercely, and Nicole finally put away her desire for the image.

This kind of thing is just too dangerous.

With the force of the eruption, they rushed into the air and freefell to hurry.

This dangerous practice is essentially a choice that only Shirakawa's predators dare to choose—after all, there are enough of them.

Even if a few fall to their deaths, it won't be a problem.

And if such a thing happens to Ronald and Nicole, if they are not careful, it will be the result of the two of them being wiped out together.

At that time, there will really be no escape from the Arctic continent.

"But let's be honest."

"Ronald, isn't it really a foul for them to rush like this?"

At this point, Nicole asked again.

The tone was also the first to show dissatisfaction during their flight.

Because of the sight of these predators falling from the sky, the closest ones to them have even smashed into the maze where the two of them are at the moment.

Estimate at the worst-case scenario.

I'm afraid that in about a quarter of an hour, the other party has the possibility of catching up with the fleeing two.

In the face of such an unbalanced situation, Nicole's change of mentality can only be said to be a matter of course.

It's just that Ronald and Nicole are different.

After witnessing and realizing the crisis faced by the two, he quickly stabilized his mind, and then comforted the somewhat dissatisfied investigator girl:

"Nicole, let's keep picking things up."

"That's the time, don't panic. Losing the heart to face problems calmly is the worst. ”

“……”

"Don't panic, be steady and calm." Nicole quickly accepted Ronald's suggestion, and after just a few reminders, she muttered to herself to calm down, and then immediately returned her attention to the direction of finding the road.

The next way forward.

Ronald also felt a real change.

Nicole was now sure that the speed and accuracy of the path were much better than they had been at the beginning, and it was clear that she was quickly adjusting to the urgency of the situation after taking her advice.

Ronald couldn't help but think of what others had said about Nicole.

A genius spellcaster.

Now it seems that even if you don't talk about the attainments of the magic ability on the mysterious side, in terms of such a heart, Nicole is definitely a talent who can be entrusted with important tasks.

And this doom of being chased.

It didn't always wrap around Ronald and Nicole.

At the same time that the predators in the rear were quickly following their breath and shortening the distance between them.

In a location close to the center of the maze.

A monster with a beautiful upper body and a lion lower body stands in the way of Ronald and Nicole.

Face the monsters that suddenly appear in front of you.

Nicole was nervous, and then squeezed her own beanie eyes.

And beside her, Ronald, who had guaranteed his bearings, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Ronald jumped over Nicole with a smile on his face and took the initiative to come to the eternal classic of the maze theme - the Sphinx.

"Brave adventurer, I have a guessing challenge here, would you like to try it?"

Just as Ronald had predicted, the Sphinx spoke:

"If you can pass this challenge, I'll get out of the way for you, but if you get it wrong......"

The Sphinx asked with a seductive smile.

However, just as it spoke, Ronald directly interrupted it:

"Okay, I know what you want to ask."

"The answer is humans, and if you had to add a question, the answer would be day and night."

"Huh?"

was answered like this by Ronald.

The beautiful head of the Sphinx tilted, and immediately froze in place:

"What are you doing? I haven't even asked any questions yet! ”
